HOUSTON (AP) — Allen Craig and Daniel Descalso homered to back Adam Wainwright, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Houston Astros 4-3 Wednesday night. Descalso’s homer came in a three-run first inning and Craig connected in the third to make it 4-1. Craig also had an RBI single in the first. Wainwright (5-6) yielded seven hits and three runs with eight strikeouts in 5 2-3 innings to improve to 5-0 in six starts at Minute Maid Park. Houston starter Bud Norris (5-3) allowed seven hits and four runs with a season-high 12 strikeouts and no walks in six innings. He became the first Astros pitcher to strike out at least 12 without a walk since Shane Reynolds in 1999.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Wisconsin player Jarrod Uthoff says he’s transferring to Iowa even though Badgers coach Bo Ryan restricted the Hawkeyes from contacting him. Uthoff tells The Associated Press on Wednesday night that he’ll have to pay his own way next year at Iowa and will also have to sit out the 2012-13 season per NCAA transfer rules. Ryan’s decision to place what many believed were heavy restrictions on Uthoff’s list of transfer options drew national criticism. Uthoff, who is from nearby Cedar Rapids, Iowa, says he didn’t want money to be a factor in his decision. He wasn’t able to speak directly with Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery, but he says Iowa’s system will best utilize his skills. Uthoff is a 6-foot-8 forward who redshirted in 2011-12.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NBA scouts say Royce White has enough talent to be selected among this year’s top draft picks. They’re just not sure how his anxiety disorder and fear of flying will affect him in the pros. White was in Indianapolis this week for the second draft workout stop on his tour, and as usual, the 6-foot-8, 270-pound forward was peppered with questions about the disorder he was diagnosed with in high school. Coaches and general managers around the league are trying to get the same answers. Nobody doubts the Iowa State star’s talent. He was the only Division I player to lead his team in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks last season. But now the Iowa State star must prove himself all over again during the interview process.

HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Maxwell hit a two-run homer, Jose Altuve tied a career high with four hits and the Houston Astros got to St. Louis starter Jaime Garcia early before holding on for a 9-8 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday night. The Astros scored four runs in the first inning and Maxwell’s homer in the second stretched their lead to 6-1. Brian Bogusevic added a solo home run in the fourth and Chris Snyder drove in two runs for Houston. Garcia (3-4) yielded five hits and the six runs tied his season high, set against the Astros earlier this season. The loss drops the left-hander to 0-5 in seven career starts against Houston. He has allowed at least three runs in each of those starts. Houston starter Lucas Harrell (5-4) allowed eight hits and four runs — three earned — in six innings to improve to 4-0 in five home starts this season.
